# Flarum for YunoHost [](https://dash.yunohost.org/appci/app/flarum)   [](https://install-app.yunohost.org/?app=flarum) *[Lire ce readme en français.](./README_fr.md)* > *This package allows you to install Flarum quickly and simply on a YunoHost server. If you don't have YunoHost, please consult [the guide](https://yunohost.org/#/install) to learn how to install it.* ## Overview Flarum is a simple discussion platform for your website. It's fast and easy to use, with all the features you need to run a successful community. **Shipped version:** 1.5.0~ynh1 **Demo:** https://discuss.flarum.org/d/21101-demos-come-to-flarum ## Screenshots  ## Disclaimers / important information ### Installing - The installation requires at least 1GB of free memory. A swap file of this size will be created if needed. - You can select the default language (among English `en` by default, French `fr`, and German `de`). Other languages can be added after installation like any other extension. ### Using After installation, simply open your browser to Flarum's page. First loading may be a bit longer as assets are generated. This app allows your YunoHost users to log in with a [dedicated LDAP extension](https://github.com/tituspijean/flarum-ext-auth-ldap). By default, the standard logging method is hidden. To allow non-YunoHost users to log in, the LDAP extension setting is in the admin panel. ### Upgrading Note that, for the moment, all third-party extensions are removed upon upgrading. ### Adding extensions Flarum does not offer to install extensions from its admin panel yet, so you need to use the command line. Replace `flarum` with your app ID in case of multiple installations. Replace `vendor/extension` with the appropriate names. Read the extension documentation if it requires additional steps. ```bash sudo su app=flarum cd /var/www/$app sudo -u $app php7.3 composer.phar require vendor/extension ``` #### Troubleshooting ##### `Timeout` errors Some users have reported a successful installation, but get a blank page due to a `timeout` on a PHP script that prepares the forum assests (`Minify.php`, notably). In `/etc/php/*php_version*/fpm/pool.d/*app_id*.conf`, you can increase the `max_execution_time` and `max_input_time` limits (both values are in seconds if nothing is specified). Reload PHP-FPM with `sudo service php*php_version*-fpm reload`. ##### Upload limit If you are facing an error while uploading large files into the forum, PHP may be limiting file upload. In `/etc/php/*php_version*/fpm/pool.d/*app_id*.conf`, you can uncomment (remove `;` at the beginning of the line) and increase the values of `upload_max_filesize` and `post_max_size` (both values are in bytes). Reload PHP-FPM with `sudo service php*php_version*-fpm reload`. ## Documentation and resources * Official app website: * Official admin documentation: * Upstream app code repository: * YunoHost documentation for this app: * Report a bug: ## Developer info Please send your pull request to the [testing branch](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/flarum_ynh/tree/testing).
